automatically filling web forms?

Sure.

 |i run the program, I don't need results too.

Right.  The file I opened ('tfp = open(...)') is to store the POST query
results.  urlretrieve does this all nicely for you under-the-hood, but in
the Python 1.5.2 version it doesn't support passing POST CGI arguments.

The file probably gets created for a POST query (I was using that part of
the code for something recently so I'm pretty sure).  But if you left the
'os.unlink( filename )' code at the bottom, it gets cleaned up before the
script exists.

If you're using a GET query, the temp file gets cleaned up by urlcleanup().
